After escaping a P.O.W camp with six others, Australian Lance Corporal Ralph Churches went back for his mates, all ninety of them. He got them airlifted to safety from behind German lines. He had help; the Slovene partisans, well organised and committed to ejecting the Germans. These partisans led the P.O.Ws to safety through the hills of Slovenia. A first-hand account of one of the great escapes of WW11, a tale of cunning, patience, incredible luck, courage and generosity.

Excellent read.
The author writes in a style that is typical of his age and culture, so it is a bit blokey, like other war autobiographies. But the story is interesting and he tells it well. There are photos and he was able to return and get the perspective of the surviving partisans. which coloured his version of the tale. This is definately a book to be recommended to others.

"Aussie" themed.
A factual account of just one Australian's Soldier's account of his war-time experiences. Sadly, Ralph's experiences were not considered worthy of being taken up by a (Australian) Publishing Company , so he did himself, that represents Aussie ingenuity at it's best. Sadly , a lot of ( especially) Australians have missed out on sharing in a true story. Well done Ralph/Neil.
